Seodaemun Natural History Museum

About

The Seodaemun Museum of Natural History holds the tragedy and beauty of nature shaped by time and environment, from the birth of Earth to the evolution of life. The massive dinosaur skeleton on the basement floor conjures a silence that seems to carry forward the grandeur of ancient times. Where the bones of Acrocanthosaurus and Pteranodon stand, a sense of time standing still seeps in. The 'Humans and Nature' hall, confronting the birth and extinction of ecosystems, makes one realize how delicate the balance of nature is, and the striped patterns of stromatolites evoke the ancient ground that recalls Earth's first breath. The third floor's depiction of the universe and the process of Earth's formation ignites visitors' imagination like flames within the footage.
